|
Came the night |
|
A mist dissolved the trees |
|
And in the broken light colors fly |
|
Fading byPale and cold |
|
As figures fill the glade |
|
Grey is the web they spin |
|
On and on, and on and on |
|
Through the flame still summer lingers on |
|
Though her pictures soon shatter |
|
All, always the same |
|
But there appears in the shades of dawning |
|
Though your eyes are dim |
|
All of the pieces in the sky |
|
There was once |
|
A harvest in this land |
|
Reap from the turquoise sky |
|
Harlequin, harlequin |
|
Dancing 'round |
|
Three children fill the glade |
|
Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream |
|
And in between |
|
Close your door, the picture fades again |
|
From the flames in the firelight |
|
All, always the same |
|
But there appears in the shades of dawning |
|
Though your eyes are dim |
|
All of the pieces in the sky |
|
All, all is not lost |
|
And light appears in the shades of dawning |
|
When your eyes can see |
|
Order the pieces, put them back, put them back |
